Second hour: Freedom-fighter Martin Hill discusses AB 666, a satanic new law aimed at blanketing California with traffic surveillance cameras, and making it impossible to fight tickets issued automatically by the cameras and associated computers...another significant step toward rule by the digital Antichrist, with all human autonomy crushed under its devilish boot. Me, I'm firmly opposed to rounding up all the people pushing red light cameras, drones, etc. and burning them at the stake. That fate would be way too good for them.
